This fascinating anthology presents a much wider scope than other

books on Thai massage, and uncovers a wealth of previously
unavailable information on the historical, spiritual, and cultural
connections to this powerful healing art. Topics include ways to
refine and maintain a healthy practice, breathwork and body
mechanics, self-protection techniques, reading body language,
acupressure concepts, and Thai herbal compress therapy. The
spiritual and cultural section offers modern translations of ancient
texts, Indian and Buddhist influences, magic amulets and sacred
tattoos, and accessory modalities such as reusi dat ton (stretching)
and tok sen (hammering therapy). Rounding out this thorough text,
the final section features essays about actual practice with clients,
written by therapists and teachers from around the world. The
extensive experience and information provided in this reference
book is invaluable to students or practitioners who wish to deepen
their personal and professional understanding of traditional Thai
healing arts.
